Don't be surprise when seeing non-weeb guides here, it's because, those particular guides are about topics/genre that gotten "tainted" with weeb, even though you don't see a lolli, an anime girl version of Leonardo Da Vinci, or a big busty anime girl/women, within a thousand mile radius.

Note: This guide won't have all the anime/otaku terms, just some of them, especially if one doesn't know words that are used frequently in the community. Just think of this as a semi-intro to anime/manga and it's community.

Second Note: If ya say that I overkilled stuff with this phrase, slang, words and terminology guide, I have OCD.
